The Season 2 newcomer did not have his contract renewed for the third season, this despite touring with the Glee cast all summer. Not to mention his character just became an item with Mercedes (Amber Riley) in the finale ep!

Chord seemingly took the news in stride, tweeting: “It’s been a good year. Too bad it’s over. Time for summer and starting fresh.” Even though there’s a possibility of a guest-star stint for the country boy in the future, we’re not so sure we can move on that easily. We also can't help but wonder if this is the reason he's moving forward with a music career now.
